Tumor Imaging
For general information on tumor imaging, see a review of MRI principles (Hesselink) and the Wikipedia articles on medical imaging, MRI, MRS, and PET. For a review of new approaches to tumor imaging, focusing on monitoring response to treatment, see Brindle 2008.
The following papers provide information on imaging specifically related to brain tumors:
- Henson et al 2008 reviews brain tumor imaging in clinical trials.
- Smirniotopoulos et al 2007 reviews patterns of contrast enhancement.
- Brown et al 2003 reviews several brain tumor case studies.
- Harrison reviews several brain tumor case studies.
- Brandsma et al 2008 reviews pseudoprogression in malignant gliomas.
- Brandes et al 2008 discusses use of MGMT promoter methylation status to help identify pseudoprogression in GBM.
- Danchaivijitr et al 2008 reviews perfusion-weighted MRI as a means for early detection of malignant transformation of low-grade gliomas.
- Cunliffe et al 2009 reviews intracranial lesions which can radiologically and/or clinically mimic tumors, resulting in unnecessary surgical biopsy or resection.
